Royal Gryphons

A MLP-based commission for a client whose (really cool) idea was that if the main pony royals represented celestial bodies, maybe the rulers of the gryphons represented something like, say, the elements.
So here are the King and Queen of gryphons, representing fire and ice. He, of course, is a big showboat of a bird naturally, while she uses ice magic to subtly enhance herself.

Of course, all this was well before the Griffinstone episode. >.>
